School, physics class: A LIE didn't do his homework so our teacher(<- rude!) held a monologue about his future and how LIE should not continue to disregard his studies.
LIE looked unaffected and replied with: "You don't have to be so personal."
This seems small but a model-student-ESI who takes blame and disrespect from everyone will certainly be surprised.
He was always invisible to me (I saw him as a douche) but not in that moment.
(he continued to be invisible until I accidentally punched him in the face on our prom.)
so what I find attractive: people who...
- think for themselves and are not blinded by authority, titles and rules
- don't lose their cool/stay optimistic
- are hidden romantics and get those big childlike eyes when genuinely excited
- read much (important!!) and are know-it-all's but correct themselves when they where wrong and want to know how to make things better
- like to get in contact with people and can talk to anyone (even mistrustful ESI's)
- have a kind heart
- Assure you that you can always ask them for help/counsel
- work and have a passion or vision for their future
(I don't have wishes or "visions" for the future because live is just to unpredictable. But watching how someone is working for his or her goals is inspiring. I want to help and be the loyal friend who stays when things go bad...)
- don't talk badly about other people behind their back
- are realistic about money, capitalism, job market (/don't go to university to study useless sh##)
- Give me a feeling of security, are there when I need them and keep promisses
- Don't have hidden plans that can get me in trouble
- Don't abuse my trust and hard work
- Don't lie in my face just because they know they can
- Don't try to buy or manipulate me with stupid gifts
